Compact SUVs are the bestselling vehicles in America right now, so you’d think they’d be a bastion of interior innovation. You’d think wrong. Mundane, we’ve-always-done-it-this-way interiors are the rule in this segment, but the Ford Bronco Sport is—well, if not exactly a bright spot, certainly brighter than its surroundings. The basic dash layout is simple and sound, and Ford has made good use of materials and colors to differentiate the various trim levels and give all of them, even the least expensive model, an upscale feel. Helpful touches abound, like easy-to-clean rubberized flooring, swiveling LED lamps in the cargo bay, and even an integrated bottle opener. The top-of-the-line Badlands models get zippered seat-back pockets and hidden storage beneath the rear seat. The stepped roof gives the Bronco Sport excellent rear-seat room, especially given this SUV’s easy-to-park interior dimensions. The Bronco Sport shows the sort of interior innovation we’d like to see on more SUVs in this popular class.
